I don't think my reply posted so if this doubles, sorry. But yeah I already did the docking, I just found out yesterday they need the dew claws so I will take them monday and get that done. My dogs get the vet care they need, my male has dermatitis, so he has to get anti-inflammatory shots. I have some experience with delivering kittens, I had a complication with my cat, and had to step in and get the kitten out for her. I was prepared on what to do with my yorkie, incase I needed to step in and do anything but she did really well on her own. I do think my cousin would help if something serious happened, otherwise I can tend to their needs, I'll be able to get their shots when they need them, I am not going to ask her to help me with stuff like that. I manage it okay. I stay with my daughter's dad so he would help out too if something serious happened. We would not let anything bad happen. I have an autoimmune disease and don't function well so I can't work, and my income is low, but my dogs always get the care they need. I think I will start a savings fund though incase needed for them, that way I won't have to rely on someone else, incase something was to happen.
